In my opinion Dostoevsky's White Nights is a really great short story. Everyone should read it

I don't know about "of all time" - but these are phenomenal
Moths in the Arc Light by Sinclair Lewis
The Californian's Tale by Mark Twain

The Rich Boy by F Scott Fitzgerald
all are very short - and all 4 will always be unforgettable to me

"Personal note: When I was a little kid my mother told me not to stare into the sun. So once when I was six, I did. At first the brightness was overwhelming, but I had seen that before. I kept looking, forcing myself not to blink, and then the brightness began to dissolve. My pupils shrunk to pinholes and everything came into focus and for a moment I understood. The doctors didn't know if my eyes would ever heal."
